TRIED & TRUE: I Washed Dishes & Scrubbed The Tub & My Manicure Lasted

Am I the only girl who loves nail polish? I have TONS of polishes. I mean, I have over 200 bottles sitting in huge bags on my bedroom floor that I need to figure out where to put. You might say that I have an obsession. But I kinda don’t care, and I refuse to call it that. I like to think of it more as my way to relax after those trying work days. I pull my nail mat out, I neatly place my napkins around, spread out my nails tools that I got from Duane Reade and I take my time and neatly polish my nails. I’ve really gotten good at it too (but don’t ask me to do your nails, I am a writer not a nail tech)!

CND sent over their new CND Vinylux to try out.I was kinda geeked but I had just broke my nail (down to the darn white meat), so it took me a little longer to do this than I planned.

So what is Vinylux, anyways?

VINYLUX™ is a breakthrough polish system that endures a week of fashion perfection…without a base coat! Exposure to natural light secures the patent-pending technology, creating an enduring, long-lasting polish. While ordinary polishes become brittle and deteriorate over time, VINYLUX dries naturally to a flawless finish and strengthens its resistance to chips over time.

I put the system to test during NYFW. I even wash dishes and scrubbed everything in my bathroom down. I wanted to see what happened to the polish in extreme water conditions.

A week later and guess what…no chipping, no reapplying! Not only did it last the entire seven days, but I swear my nails grew an inch! No lie. I adore this system, it’s probably one of the best that I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried a lot of freaking polishes that claimed to do a lot of freaking stuff.
